So, curious about Josh Allen and what to expect next year, I went looking for players with a similar rise:
1) 500+ pass DYAR
2) improved pass DYAR by 1000 or more
3) Year 2, 3, or 4
(1/x)

There were 10 QB with similar jumps to Josh Allen 2020. Four went on to have very good/great careers: Aikman, Brees, Everett, Palmer.
Collins had a long but very inconsistent career, but his 1996 was the lowest DYAR of the comparable seasons. Not that comparable. (2/x)

More comparable jumps to Josh Allen 2020:
Goff was very good again in 2018, then average in 2019-2020.
Wentz was average in 2018-2019, then crashed in 2020.
Nick Foles was a one-year scheme wonder. Fourth-round pick. Not really comparable. (3/x)

The last two comparable jumps to Josh Allen 2020:
Josh Freeman was a one-year wonder. There's a whole psychological story there. Not really comparable.
Dak Prescott's rise in DYAR was 2019, so TBD. (4/x)
